Naylor's family Friday night, at their home on Ninth and School streets.

The harvest party that was given by the Meadames LaCour, Ruff, and Hudlin last Friday night at the home of Mrs. Hudlin furnished plenty of merriment for the invited guests, as most of them wore costumes as requested by the invitation. It was after midnight are all had departed, yet those present were free to say that they were good entertainers. Refreshments during the evening. The apparelling of a pretty woman is a problem to which countless minds have been devoted almost since the world began, but Dame Fashion never allows the problem to become stale or completely solved. To women particularly it is a fascinating subject. in the Cosmopolitan for November appears in a well-illustrated article by Mrs. Wilson Woodrow which deals woman and her costumes. Mr. A. H. Jones and sister, Mrs. Willie Smith, entertained at a 'coon supper Monday evening, Nov. 2, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. James Hamilton, 1083 Center street.

McNerney, Manager. EDITORIALS. Last Tuesday's election was a great triumphant Republican victory in general. One that speaks louder than words for protection and reciprosity. New York and Maryland are the only two states that the Democrats carried, where a fair ballot and an honest count was had; even in New York the question there waged was local questions, such as Tammany vs. Anti-Tammany. In Ohio it was generally thought that it would be close, but Governor Herrick was elected by over 115,000 plurality, and our own state the most egotistic republican only expected to elect Governor Cummins by 63,000 plurality, but late returns show that Governor Cummins will have over 80,000 plurality. Our state legislature is overwhelmingly Republican. The Democrats will only have seven members in the Senate and the Republicans will have forty-three. In the House the Democrats will have twenty-one and the Republicans seventy-nine. The election is a vindication of republican principles and prosperous times, and republicans are asked to line up for the 1904 battle which is just beginning. THE ARMY POST OPENING The United States army post that has been building here for several years will be formally opened here November 12, 13 and 14, with appropriate military services and pomp, also a barbacue on the last day. As this will be the only army post in Iowa, the opening will be a state affair and there will be people from all parts of the state. The railroads have given a one-fare rate. Some of the distinguished army officers of our country will be present. It will be worth your visit here to the grounds. There will be a military drill each day. Most all the Iowa Company will be here. NEWSPAPER WIND For more than one year there has been talk of another newspaper starting here. There has been a desire of a few disafflicted kickers who are already ought to be instructed and always complaining about this or that thing; those very people do not subscribe for the colored newspapers and if they do have not, never have nor will not pay for them, they are not in the journal; yet they are the first to complain. Shame, nous hypocrite! Great race men! Nearly every day for the past month an article would appear in the papers about another colored paper and that it will not deal in politics. The very parties that have been trying and are trying to start a paper we have been informed have been promised $200 by a prominent politician in college, who will college and will be a candidate again next spring to start a paper in opposition to the Bystander and that $200 is about all the money they have mustered up, so the public can see it in for papers sheets started in this and other states, especially just before the national campaign. The middle west has been flooded in past years with such papers. While we welcome all honest and worrisome people, we purpose to oppose, fight and create strife, which is foreign to our principles.

Did it ever occur to you that the bunch of colored ribbons you wear in your tuttonhole- or pinned on your dress if you are a girl-at commencement, or at a baseball or football game, is really a flag? asks a writer in St. Nicholas. It tells to what class or school or college you belong, or which of these, for the time, has your interest in sports. What more, what similar reasons do nations wear their colors. At first, it may, it was to tell one another an art; but after while the colors—the flag—came to represent the nation itself; and the way the people acted toward the nation's flag was supposed to show the way they felt toward the nation. By Burns M. E. Church Last Sunday With Appropriate Ceremony at Eleventh and Crocker Streets In the presence of 300 people the cornerstone of Burns M. E. church, at Crocker and Eleventh streets, was laid on Sunday afternoon. The Burns M. E. church is one of the thriving colored congregations of our city, and the erection of their new church building means the result of not a little sacrifice and hard work upon their part in order that they might have a fitting church home of their own. Dr. E. T. Hagerman of the First M. E. church, and Rev. Mr. Franklin of the North Des Moines M. E. church, represented the Methodist churches of the city at the ceremonies and made addresses congratulating the people of Burns church on the success of A. REV. O. A. JOHNSON. efforts to secure a new church building. Rev. O. A. Johnson, the pastor of the church, also made a few remarks. Over $50 to be used in paying for the new church building, was received from a collection taken during the services. The new church building will be of brick, two stories in height, and is expected to meet all the needs of the congregation for years to come. It has been erected chiefly through the efforts of Rev. O. A. Johnson, who has accomplished great results during the sixteen months for which he has held the pastorate. Several years ago Rev. Mr. Johnson was a school teacher in Missouri. For two years he was secretary and for three years treasurer of the grand lodge of V. B. O. F. for the state of Missouri. He was national delegate for the same lodge, representing it at Houston, Texas, Louisville, Ky., Indianapolis, ind., and Cincinnati, Ohio. Refusing some remunerative opening for which his success as secretary and treasurer of the lodge qualified him, he devoted his life to the ministry. He was ordained a deacon by Bishop C. C. McCabe at Topka, Kas., and made an elder at Marshall, Mo., by Bishop James N. Fitzgerald. He held a pastorate at Richmond, Mo., for four successive years, and later at Oskaloosa, Iowa, for four years, coming from Oskaloosa to Des Moines. The trustees of the Burns M. E. church include the following: Jesse Estell, T. A. Ray, E. S. Morgan, C. C. Crowell, John Strother, James Bush, M. MeAdams, J. W. Robinson, Robert Estell. CLUB WOMEN AS SEEN BY ONE OF THEM. It is easy to believe that before long every club woman in the country will be reading and talking of the piquant narrative, "The Evolution of a Club Woman," by Agnes Burbridge, the second installment of which appears in the November Delineator. It is based on fact, and describes from the inside various incidents connected with rise and progress of the president of one of Chicago's largest clubs. In executive club circles the story is, to put it mildly, affording interesting reading, while to the general public it is highly diverting. The same issue of this magazine has, in addition to its super presentation of the incoming Winter styles, some other especially good features in J. C. Hemment's illustrated story of his historical film with the camera; stories by Lillie Hamilton French, William MacLeod Baine and Mina C. Smith; and house plans and house furnishing ideas, by Alice M. Kellogg. There are also innumerable articles of culinary and economic interest to women, and for the children there are pleasant games and stories. THE AFRICAN IN MUSIC Coleridge-Taylor Latest Production a Masterpiece of classic Music. Coleridge-Taylor's new choral work, "The Atonement," was produced for the first time at the recent Hereford festival in England. This is what the critic of the London Musical Standard thinks of the work: "The great novelty of the week was the production on Wednesday morning of Coleridge-Taylor's "The Atonement." There was a large and brilliant gathering in the cathedral, and it was at once evident the young Anglo-African composer's work had created widespread interest. The composer conducted d The prelude may be said to epitomize the whole work, and a theme which commences at the eighth bar predominates, but others are heard in the "Gethsemane" and the "Calvary" music. The various themes are so interwoven as to form a movement of great beauty. The "Gethsemane" music opens with singular charm and the chorus, "In the soft月night glow," is an able piece of writing. Christ's prayer, "Father, the last dread hour is near," is beautifully touching in its simplicity. There is some fine coloring in the chorus descriptive of the approach of the roman soldiers. The third part is wholly taken up by an eight-part chorus, "Prayer of the Holy Women and apostles," the opening of which reminded one very forcibly of some old world chant. A restless tonality pervades This in the fourth section we have a scene before Pontius Pilate, opening which a beautiful treated chorus. "The night is past." The treatment of the dialogue between the populace and Pilate is very convincing, although possibly verging up on theatrical display. The greatest section of the work, to my mind, is the last part, "Calvary." The theme of the trio for the three Marys is striking in its individuality. The final chorus, "It is finished," is powerful in the extreme. Much of the work is complicated, but nevertheless I consider that Mr. Coleridge-Taylor has produced a really fine work, not that I predict a popularity for it, if the term popular can be applied to a sacred work. The subject is somewhat too grubsome. I am afraid to commend the cantata to the public mind, yet those societies who do take up the work will have ample opportunity for disslaying their skill. After a single hearing it is possibly unwise to be dogmatic in ones opinions. I merely give my impression for what it is worth.—Ex. CLINTON ITEMS The Joshua Sons of Valor club of Bethel A. M. E. church, F. P. Alkens, chairman, gave a supper on last Friday evening. The entertainment was large number. The proceeds will be devoted to the new parsonage fund.

The Misses Barlett issued invitations for a Halloween party last week. According to the request the guests came wrapped in sheets and with their faces masked. The evening being very pleasant the first part of it was spent on the lawn, which gave way to a dance with white-robed figures moving around. About 10 o'clock the guests entered the parlor, the masks being removed and the rest of the evening was spent in games and conversation and fortune telling. At a late hour very dainty Halloween refreshments were served by the Misses Bartlett, assisted by Mrs. Harper, who was present when the guests departed, helping for another invitation before next Halloween.

George Moore, the novelist, has accumulated four honors in Ireland a number of Irish anecdotes that are not included in his aid book, "The Untitled Field." Mr. Moore says that he was walking one day in a Dublin street when an undertaker's assistant passed him, carrying on his back a coffin unusually tiny. A young man stopped the assistant near Mr. Moore. man, "that this comn is intended for any living creature?" Silence for a Month Bilence for a Month. A curious custom prevails in Bulgaria which must be a hard penalty for a woman who whispers the sound of her voice. All newly-married women are obliged to remain dumb for a month after marriage, except when addressed by their husbands. When it is desirable to remove this restriction permanently the husband presents her with a gift, and then she can chatter to her heart's content. Aluminum Dishes. Aluminum cooking utensils are being pushed by many of the big shops. They are brought out in shapes as attractive as the fine silver, copper and old lined cooking vessels used in wealthy households. The stew pans, terrapin dishes, coffee cups and tea-takkes of aluminum have now such beauty of contour and finish that they seem almost more appropriate to the dining-table than to the kitchen. Expensive Invitations. The latest craze in New York among the very wealthy is an extravagant style of invitation card. Not long ago the wife of a millionaire ordered 200 of these from a local firm and they cost her just $10 each. The cards were made of ivory adorned with gold, the name of the guest and hostess being lettered in gold on one side, the other being hand-painted. Card at $5 each are quite common. **Art for Revenue Only.** "So you could not get on with that eminent actor, Walker Thee." "No," answered Stormington Barres, "our professional association had to cease." "Professional values," certainly not due to his mercenary disposition. He spurned a half interest in the business and insisted on his salary of $25 a week."-Washington Star. Work of Weather Bureau. The Weather Bureau collects its information by telegraph, and for a short time twice a day the whole telegraphic system of the country is at its service to the exclusion of all other business whatsoever. The telegrams are sent in cipher, to secure their correct, careful transmission, and to lessen tolls. First Schoolhouse Flag. On Catamount hill, at Molrain, Mass., a swell monument has been raised to marry the site of the first flag raised over a public schoolhouse in the United States. The flag question was displayed in May, 1812, from a log schoolhouse which stood on the hill. Siberian Market. Eastern Silberia offers an enormous field for iron and steel ware for building purposes; also for tools, etc., for carpenters and locksmiths. These lines are largely in the hands of Germans. There is also large demand for guns and hunting material. Up-to-Date Trains. The "trains de luxe," which now cover the distance from Moscow to the Pacific in sixteen days, and which rival in luxury any in the United States, each carry a physician and an inspector who speaks half a dozen languages. Ideal Electric Lamp. Hundreds of electricians are at this moment striving to construct lamps in which nothing is consumed save the electrical energy applied to them—lamps that have the radiance of the sun and the coldness of the moon. Heat From Incandescent Light. It is usually imagined that the incandescent electric light gives out very little heat. As a matter of fact, only 6 per cent of its energy goes to make light, while 94 per cent goes into heat. Sun Parlors. John D. Rockefeller is building two sun parlorers in his residence in Westchester county, New York, and will spend $100,000 in rebuilding a number of private drives on his estate. Suggestion for Hero.

Ziem was the friend and comrade of Chopin, and it war in tbe former's stadlo that a to hemian repast was given, with Luére, De Pollgnse (the musician.) Richard (the painter.) Cherandier de Vai drome, and Chopin, as gay and festive spirits around the table. ‘There was an oid rickety plano tn the corner, til the panels having been taken oxi for pictures, 28 Zim was poor, xd had to economize. ‘Behind curtain was skeleton, and this gave an idea to Zit, who brought the skeletan out, covered it with drapery, and began 10 agitate it with realistic effect. De Polignace then took the skeleton to the piano, and sat with ft as thong to make it play. It was at this mo ment that Chopin, ho had been rather quiet, was sclzed with sudden inspiration. Uttering an ejacalation, he rushed forward to the piano, pushed aside De Pollensc, tmprovised the worldfamous “Faneral March” Mr, Spielmann, the art eritic, tells tbe following story of Morland, the painter. who was popular enough to have his work forged in his lifetime: A dealer, unknown to him, employed Morland to paint so many pictures. provided him with a stodlo, free, to an upper Goor of his (the dealer's) house, and begged that he would not (roubie to paint for longer than the morzing. The terms were good, and the artist, who was more than’ ever in want of mones, readily agreed. But Svat Morland id not know was thst as c0gn as he had left, on and from the very first day, the dedler totro duced some six hack copyists into the room ‘with similar canvases, to repro- duce exactly what the painter had done in the morning, and in the even- ing all traces of the inczrsioa were remored. Each day, until the com pletion of the pictare, the process fas continued, and thus, at the end of the engagement, the dealer not only possessed the original pletures, bt six copies of each, produced stage by stage in the same way as Mor land's own, This. perhaps, accounts for some of the best eoples extant. ‘Thet Chicago millionaire is stil} af ter the ie servant gin, but of |Conree abe ett foot week De Your Clothes Look Vellow? econ Deeanee Star 2 wh Meer han reise: Se 20 aan ‘The ehestiest individual {a often the one sith the least exeuse tor dors) xpansion.

Hinton, Ky., Nov. 2. - For over two years two of the best physicians in this part of the State have been treating Mr. E. J. Thompson, a popular local school teacher, for Diabetes. They told him that but little could be done to help him. He made up his mind to try a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and says: "They saved me when the doctors held out no hope. I took in all about ten boxes. I will always praise Dodd's Kidney Pills for the great good they have done for me." And soaze physicians, still persist in the belief that Diabetes is an incurable disease. Our teacher, Mr. Thompson, says it is curable, for Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him after two good physicians had treated him for two years without success. A remedy that will cure Diabetes will surely cure any case of Kidney Trouble.

"Up to a couple of years ago," says a business man of Brooklyn, N.Y. "I was as constant a coffee drinker as it was possible to be, indeed, my craving for coffee was equal to that of a drunkard for his regular 'nip' and the effect of the coffee drug upon my system was indeed deplorable. "My skin lacked its natural color, my features were pinched and my nevers were shattered to such an exerture to as to sender me very irritable. I also suffered from palpitation of the heart." "It was while in this condition I read an article about Postum Food Coffee and concluded to try it. It was not long before Postum had entirely ceased to serve it for coffee and in a short time I had entirely given up coffee for delicious Postum. "The change that followed was so extraordinary I am unable to describe it. Suffice it to say, however, that all my troubles have disappeared. I am my original happy self again and on the whole the soothing and pleasing effects produced by my cup of Postum make me feel as though I have been landed at another station."

The committee in charge of entertainment for the army post celebrations have announced that Admiral George Dewey will probably be one of the distinguished guests at the dedicatory ceremonies on Friday. Norwegian General Admiral Dewey and Chairman W. V. Wilcox there remains but little doubt that the hero of Manila will accept the urgent invitation which has been sent and represent the United States navy against Generals Young and Corbin and the prominent leaders in the army. As a result, the received Admiral Dewey will be given a place on the program for an address during the barbecue. The supreme court, in connection with the application of J. E. Fink of Des Moines county, who has been disbared by the Des Moines county bar, for reinstalment, holds that only district courts in which the disbarment occurred have jurisdiction in the county county district court, having induced a witness to false testimony. Fink said that the case was handled by his partner entirely. Unknown to him, disbarment proceedings were commenced in the Des Moines county district court, "From the application," reads the order of the supreme court, "we should have no doubt of Mr. Fink's right to an order for reinstalment, but such an order, when made, should be made by the applicant." The application is not for admission to the Applicant has already been admitted. What he wants is to be reinstated, or to have the judgment of disbarment set aside. This we cannot do, save on the original order. The court making the judgment which has jurisdiction to set it aside, save on appeal to this court. The court rendering a judgment of disbarment retains continuing jurisdiction over the subject, and may upon a further reformation or other satisfactory reasoner the disbarment reinstate him in the practice of his profession." Curator Charles Aldrich of the state historical department has asked for an appropriation of $100,000 for expenditure in 1954-5-6, and an increase in the appropriation for the working fund from $5,000 to $15,000. Curator Aldrich's cry is for additional room. The new building in which are located the state library is ready to too small and is cramped. The newspaper files, one of the most interesting and valuable possessions of the department, cannot be properly handled because there is no room for them. The library is filled. The law provides for removing the state library from its present quarters in the capitol to the rooms of the historical department, leaving the present quarters of the state library in the actual library, but the actual consolidation is prevented by lack of space. Samuel Trietten, who came all the way from Alberta, Canada, to Davenport, in search of a daughter who had run away from home to go on the stage, found her at the Orphen Theater, a low concert hall, where she was paid $7 a week to and encourage the generous purchase of drinks by the male patrons of the place. The girl had written home of illness and was unable to enjoy herself when her father appeared at the theater and took her away. She left for home with him.

Council Bluffs, Nov. 6—For the first time since Iowa's anti-trust law was enacted to a test in a contractive suit, in a lawsuit involving more than $7,000, the Port and Gold Mining company, an Iowa corporation, is resisting the collection of that amount by the American Bridge company because the latter company is alleged to be a trust and a corporation to be the great United States Steel corporation. The mining company admits the purchase of the steel but it declares A was not in accordance with contract and further, that the American Bridge company, from which it was bought, will acquire the American steel tree, trust, organized April 1, 1911, of purpose of combining in one great trust or pool all the large iron and steel manufacturing and bridge building companies in the United States controlling and regulating prices, re pressing competition and monopolize the market, and factories thousands of miles several hundred ocean and lake steamships, hundreds of thousands of acres of lands, 20,000 coke ovens and thousands of miles of pipe lines and railroads, and that this combination is engaged in manufacturing and selling the Iowa legislature enacted a statute, sections 5060, 5061, 5062, 5063 and 5064 of which declare that any trust or combination for the purpose of regulating, or fixing or limiting pro fiction is a conspiracy and this statute is asserted to provide that this company will not be held in any claim by such conspiracy or trust for goods or merchandise sold. The answer sets up that under this statement of facts and Iowa law the bridge company is not entitled to reclaim the property in its claim even if it was lustily owned. GOOD DOCTORS. GOOD NURSES.

Denison, Nov. 4.—Fire in the third story of the Wilson house completely wrecked that hotel yesterday morning. The fire broke out by a de- fense, and the fire was avenged, every room being occupied. Lord Cook turned his first attention to his guests, with the result that every one escaped with all personal belong- ings. Much of the furniture on the first floor was saved. The third story is completely burned, while the rest of the room was burned by water. Mr. Cook estimates his loss at $10, 000, one-half insured. The Wilson house, formerly the Jaeger house, was built twenty years ago and has been Denison's leading hotel. Cook has no plans as yet, but it is more than probable that a stock company will be formed and a brick hotel erected. IOWA BANK IS CLOSED. Sheldon State Bank in the Hands of a Receiver.

His words to his experience: "Sometime in September I was taken with a dull aching pain across the small of my back, directly over the kidneys.

So Mr. Plangman's experience bore me out.

Distributors for U. C. Address all communications for these women to the Eleanor Doyle, President of the Iowa State Federation, 71 Baskin street, Omaha, Iowa Mrs. Booker T. Washington's Missionary Work Among the Negro Housewives in the South. Onehas only to look out of the window of a passing train almost anywhere from Virginia to Louisiana to see the delapidated one room cabin which shelter a large proportion of the eight million descendants of slavery in this country today. In Alabama one can have an opportunity to see some successful results of the work of an enlightened woman common to the task of bettering the miserable conditions in the homes of our people. The name of this woman is Margaret Murray Washington. She is the third wife of the well known predeal of Tuskegee Institute, Booker T. Washington. You may see who has seen the outside, the inside of the inside, an Alabama cabin can appreciate the magnitude of the undertaking which confronts the reformer. From a roomless, often windowless, but where light and air are admitted solely through cracks, in the deliapsed four walls which five or six air persons are allowed to easily sheds water; where a bed with sheets and pillow cases as unusual as a glass window, and the family crawl in between some old covers without even taking the trouble to remove their scant clothing — from such an abode to a clean decent, well ventilated house is a long step, but this is only necessary if trying to accomplish, and in some cases has already achieved. In childhood, Mrs. Washington says, she ran away from a home little better than the worst of those she is trying to reform. To some strict but kindly Quakers, she was with them and subsequently sent her to a university, she owes her own training. In speaking of the way she started her missionary work, Mrs. Washington says that six or seven years ago she became impatient with the situation about eight miles from Tuskegee, where a settlement of twenty nong families lived in some old slave "quarers." When she first went to them five or ten persons were living in one room houses, and the children were with little or no nothing on them. "It was just like Africa," said Mrs. Washington. "I felt something must be done, so one day I went down there with a good stiff broom, determined to see what I could do. Then the most proactive of the lot had to hold a meeting, first suggesting that we sweep up the place in honor of the occasion. The sweeping I gave that room made the woman who lived it so ashamed of her own slack work that I have never since found it in the same condition. After my first visit, I was asked to show the ladies on the estate, showing the how women to improve the most unpromising surroundings and urging them to take an interest in the decency of their homes for their own sakes and the sake of their husbands and children. In the course of time the planter took care of these people work gave the use of an abandoned cabin for a "settlement house," where a young woman graduate of Tuskegee was sent to carry on the work that had already been started. Since that time I have raised sufficient funds to provide in its place a home for a young woman house on ten acres of adjoining land. The house is designed not only for a place for our meetings and classes, but is kept by Miss Davis, who lives there as an object lesson in housekeeping for the neighborhood. We are doing much good. Among the families of the settlement there is everywhere a marked prosperity to what it has been. Beds and walls are well kept. Crowded rooms and walls were used with clay. In many rooms or more rooms have been added. In fact, there was altogether an air of neatness and order in all of the homes." This plantation is only one of the many places Mrs. Washington is carrying on her work. In a building near the market square of the town of Tuskegee, where the negro framers come every Saturday, bringing the children with them. Washington holds mother meetings. She has a weekly attendance of sixty to one hundred women. There are two rooms in the building, one of which is fitted up with a cook house and bed for practice lessons, and the other is used as a meeting hall. The weekly earnings of the southern negro is scarcely enough to feed his family and the women who have much to keep home. Here at the mother's house I supply their whatever I can. It is astonishing how eager they are for sheets and pillow cases. The women who gather here are neatly dress'd, although there is a wide dissimilarity in their costumes, ranging from shawls and picturequeens sunbonnetes to straw hats and tunices of seabird/cat skin, squeezes of them to undertake to lace up their sleeves with calico stripes, there exist in every case a regard for appearance seldom found in a gathering of nero farmers wives. The Iowa State Federation has the honor of being the first Federation to help in the well begun work that has for its basis the salvation of home, wife, mother and children. In a recent letter from Ira Washington she says; may she be very glad indeed to have children both like and also some simple books for children. Everything that is needed in a large household is needed here. Shepherds cloth cases, clothes, towels, soak. books, magazines, etc., are all accept- able. Lend a hand.
